GREAT FORTS - THE BEGINNING FROM STONE WALLS TO STEEL TURRETS 

Extraordinary work. This historian needs many more subscribers.

and I love your guide Tino ! soo informative.

wow tino love that lady guide

wonderful video! And I am a bit ashamed, that I never have visited Garderhøj- looks really interesting.

Now I know how to win... ...remove those engineers Amazing revelations.... Thank you/ DANKE TINO

Such beautifull people you interviewed here Tino. They have so much love sharing and telling their knowledge.

Beautiful scenery, amazing to see examples of the evolution of defensive technology still around hundreds of years later. The young lady tour guide with the perfect English accent was quite the distraction... I had to go back and watch that part a second time to actually catch the history portion of the video! Thanks again for bringing us these amazing locations and lessons.

Least they are preserving History and not destroying it.

That was much more in depth than anyone will see elsewhere Tino. You must have some friends in strange places, or the gods are shining upon you. Cheers!

Tino...this lady is QUITE knowledgeable...you may have met your match!!!

I'm a decendent of the Vikings in the UK my family had to flee here durn ww2 I'm the only British born out the family on my dads side never met my grandparents unfortunately.

That large turret is like a large manual clock. How many laps would four people need to do, to equal one minute.

Firing arrows is a funny word there should be some other word instead of firing because bow isn't firearm the later firearm word has stuck to pre firearm weapons too :)

But as they found out with the Maginot line, having a fixed front line means the enemy can just go around you and if direct breaching would cost too many casaulties, they can just cut off your supplies and leave you to wither on the vine, kind of like the allies did with the Pacific islands during WW2

Where would we be without Tino and man's insatiable desire to Kill each other - Lost Battlefields with some great videos. Thanks.

33:35 is a cute turret - looks a bit like Minion :) maybe needs midget cannon operator too - cool stuff there development of forts like the idea on this video

Goodday just looked at the video which hade the 88 if one day you get to Canberra thay have a 88 and a fritsX also a V2 with the wheels under it all this is in the overflow holding buildings

Loving every second of this program!!

Finspång goes back hundreades of years as a cannon producer in Sweden. The cannon foundry was the crown jewl of the De Geer family iron empire.

I had seen depictions of retractable turrets with barrels that extended far past the turret ring and I was unsure if that was accurate or not seeing as it would massively slow down the turrets operation.

Excellent series . Thanks TINO

Another great one. Thanks for the upload Tino!

BRAVO! Bravo, Tino!

Outstanding work.🤗

Forget the Jane Fonda work out try the Tino hand cranking exercise! Thoroughly enjoyed the Danish guides info on the mechanics of the turret,s.

This is great, I'm amazed how much has survived and the standard of preservation.

It's a really cool fortress / castle, but that artwork (at 16:50) really can't! They look like very big matches...... haha.

Excellent video. Metz was also seen as an important 'jumping off' point prior to WW1 for the German Army in any future war with France by the fact that the train station had extra long platforms for the troop trains.

Awesome video Tino! A big thankyou for the history. Looking forward to the upcoming future episodes.

Cool places :) (y)

"Only Half a Kilo of gunpowder" stole the show lol

the must be bodybuilders the guys after a year of service turning the gun if you have so mutch trouble must be very heavy nice video again to see the history from where it start and where it is today that gun in Denmark is also great nice to see something that big for that time must be hell like the guy say to fight in that gun

whatever happened to that ebin emal bunker the germans paratroopers reenacted the bunker attack with a hallow charge stick bomb I see a lot in videos I think it had a mote

after 7.50 you got a volym error..."Lt Jansson

GREAT ¡¡¡¡ Preserving history and showing it to the world. Excellent job by a field historian expert like you Tino. Thanks again and keep with this mission.

OI! Struckmann...... point of order - when the vikings raided lindisfarne we did have fortified towns and forts left over from the romans and still in use. we also still had hill forts and just down the coast a .bit is Banburgh Castle which was in there as a fortified seat of the local lord from the saxon invasion and Durham was a fortified town along with York, chester, manchester, london and so on. it took a thousand years to catch up with what the romans were doing while Jesus was sweeping up the wood shavings at his dads workshop. it took even longer to re invent the roman war machine though. and its crew served weapons. they even went backwards and reverted to chainmail. otherwise carry on that man.

33:45 warrior version of r2d2

That picture looks like a ships gun?? You must be on the west coast Tino. We are Eastern and 3 hours ahead. Hope I can stay awake.

Maybe a segment on the fortress Island of Corregador...or what is left of it....is due ?

very impressive stuff. it seems to be necessary to send this danish guy in the turret some litres of wd-40 or ballistol. it looks strange that at one point he keep that enormous thing working and shoot it from time to time and at the other point he forget to clean the barrel, the breech and all the surroundings from time to time a little bit . . . the remains from blackpowder shooting are agressive to the barrel and breech metal

An excellent documentary - great effort!

12:18 Looks like strips of cordite in the bottom of the breech. But it can't be, can it?

At 6:02 This is one of the quietest machicolations I've ever heard.

Excellent Tino! Thank you for your great work.

That was as impressive as heck!

thanks as always for sharing this with us, and i just want to say, seeing so much artillery well as draftee did my time ( with good vibes and memories ) in the Dutch Army Abt41Afdva Alpha Battery 41 Field Arftilery well i wasnt in the SPG;s i was a scout/guide well this was in the era Gps just fitted in a Mercedes-Benz 290GD ( 1993-1994 ) again thanks for the upload. hmm fact about my hometown we have the last or only land watergate in either europe or the world just google Koppelpoort Amersfoort you will see what i mean

I looking forwards to the shows now on Castles... UK is I think the best place for this..Scotland, Wales and Britain.. You done and grand job Tino.Onwards and upwards

Just gets better. Thanks

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪

Great production Tino. Very good plan to show the time line of the development of forts and weapons. I very much enjoyed listening to you and the guides describe what you were showing. Thank you for all your effort and time.

I wont ask any qeastions ..you dont answer , Great production.. one of the best yet.. I'm watching for second time..

Boots on the ground...

Great work Tino ..It was Alfred the great who fortified the towns and raised the Fyrd ..Mott and Bailey castles like u mentioned were a Norman speciality..You must come to England and see our Forts Castles and Such like..Would also like you to see if its possible to do a tour round the Royal Armouries in Leeds..really well worth a visit!!..Great Video and interesting people Nice one pal!

Thank you for taking the time to do the research on these defensive fortifications and make this interesting and informative video for us.

fantastic episode

Thank You Tino (Mange tak) This has to be one of (if not) best videos you have made so far! Keep up your great work! Venlig hilsen en der elsker historie lige som dig. :)

Marry that girl Tino.

1889... Swedish made gun eh... King of Norway was same as King on Sweden back then. Norway became independent 1905 (My great great Grandad Gustaf V was not amused but still had to play diplomat and give the new king a few little gits... like making him a Knight of the Seraphim. Mind you My great Grandad was made a knight too, just not sure which) Wonder why it ended inn Norway rather than Denmark I'd have to do more research but I'm sure Prince Carl on Denmark had a lot to do with it., sussed it.. well some of it, Prince Carl became King of Norway later, our family is very complex Haakkon family tree goes back to the Heimskringla, but so does Gustefs.. different mothers.. King Halfdanesson had 18 wives 6 are named in the book and although it was written years later, it dates to late 700s early 800s Anyway, CR is Carl. Prince of Denmark later to be king of Norway 1905 Lo, There do I see my Father Lo, There do I see my Mother and My Brothers and my Sisters Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the beginning Lo, They do call to me They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla Where thine enemies have been vanquished Where the brave shall live Forever Nor shall we mourn but rejoice for those that have died the glorious death.

Amazing 🤩 thank you Tino 👍

Good stuff Tino. Thank you!

Question: Is war becoming obselete?

Looks Great 👍

😘 I too, love your guide.
